 Artist Statement

During the stay-at-home order we began working on a series of tools: shovels, fire extinguishers, scuba tanks, face shields, breathing apparatuses etc... Everyday items that provide a degree of control and safety. By remaking them as surreal and non-functional sculptures, these tools have become a metaphor for the tension between our desire for connection, safety, and control in our daily lives. During this quiet time at home, we have been rethinking the connection to each other, nature, and work
